Altium 365 Library Migration: How it Works and Why You Should Use It Altium 365 Library Migration: How it Works and Why You Should Use It Your libraries are the cornerstone of your PCB design projects. Without them, you wouldn’t be able to load up custom footprints, access schematic symbols, or much else for your PCB projects. When you need to share projects or existing component data with your team, what’s the easiest way to get the data you need without creating long email chains? Before working with Altium 365, we were stuck using tools like Slack, email, an FTP server, Dropbox Read Article
PCB design review and collaboration PCB Design Review and Collaboration in Altium 365 Remote collaboration tools are everywhere these days, and now designers have access to a convenient collaboration system for electronics design. Whether you’re part of a design team, or you need to quickly execute any design changes recommended by your manufacturer, you need cloud collaboration tools that are immediately accessible within your PCB design application. Now with Altium 365, you’ll have access to a cloud-driven design interface that Read Article
Integrated Electronics Manufacturing Integrated Electronics Manufacturing and Design Collaboration Advanced devices require collaboration among multiple team members, both to ensure functionality and manufacturability. With embedded systems, this extends beyond a hardware team to include software developers. If you want your new product to be manufacturable at scale, then at some point, you will need to involve your manufacturer in the collaborative process. This is especially true with high speed digital devices and high speed analog devices Read Article
Reduce PCB Manufacturing Time Reduce PCB Manufacturing Time Through Manufacturer Collaboration In a recent interview with PCB007, Altium VP of Marketing Lawrence Romine recalled a brief conversation with Tara Dunn, who remarked that all designs her company receives for manufacturing get put on hold. If you’re a manufacturer, this probably doesn’t surprise you; some designers can be very cavalier with their design choices. Although these designs may be innovative and useful from a signal integrity and layout perspective, they may not be Read Article
User Access in PCB Project Management with Altium 365 User Access in PCB Project Management with Altium 365 When I work with my team and talk with clients, we spend a lot of time sending files back-and-forth or making sure design data is updated in a client’s FTP site. Now that we use Altium 365, we have a secure cloud collaboration tool for PCB design, revision tracking, and PCB project management. The challenge in this environment is regulating user access to sensitive projects. Customers don’t always want to see their designs exposed to everyone Read Article
